Information about the Mirador de Samara viewing point

If you are driving up the TF-38 it’s very easy to drive straight past this viewing point without thinking much of it.  There is a small car park for around 10 cars and then a few trails that lead into an increadible landscape of a ground covered in think black compacted ash.  The suprosing thing are teh green trees growing up through the ash proving an incredible contrast.  There is a very short and easy walk to the left that takes you to a small volcanic vent i.e. a small caldera that give an incredible view that you can see above. Even from the car park you get an amazing view back to La Plama and La Gomera.  There is a slightly more difficult walk to the right that takes you around Montaña de la Botija giving you the most sublime viewpoint that you can see here.
